• Middle: The surface texture is flat to the north up to Grajagan, where the texture begins to be wavy to steep. The eastern part of this group is the Segara Anakan (a mangrove-fringed shallow coastal lagoon), whose field is relatively flat since it is continuously submerged in seawater.
• East: The texture is an undulating highlands getting lower to the further south.

The soil condition in ​​BH Genteng and BH Blambangan on a survey from the Directorate of Land Use, the Directorate General of Agrarian Affairs of the Ministry of Home Affairs in 1986, was dominated mainly by reddish-brown Latosol soil and leptosols, medium and somewhat old. The eastern part is primarily black clay, heavy and cracked when dry because it contains iron concretions in the form of Hegel. While in the southern region, there are deposits of kaolin and colloidal grits, so there are fewer nests. (See: KPH Map)
